RomanW70 (297), Providence, Rhode Island, USA May 10, 2008 Updated: May 30, 2008On tap at Track 84 in Warwick, RI. Pours deep orange/gold with a fluffy white head. Aroma of yeast, citrus, caramel, and hops. Taste much the same with strong notes of bread and yeast. spicy on the finish. Very nice tripel. gonzo46and2 (108), Tampa, Florida, USA May 7, 2008 Well balanced tripel. This ranks up there with my favorite tripel Chimay Cinq Cents. Pours a cloudy pale amber and delivers powerful abv kick. Bitterness is balanced well. trevor211 (500), Seattle, Washington, USA May 6, 2008 Like a more complex, more refined version of La Fin du Monde. Pours a light, hazy cider color with a huge, creamy head. Aroma of light, creamy caramel, apples and spices. Flavor is a great blend of sweet fruits and a mild bitterness, with notes of apples and just a bit of the bite of black pepper. It has a great depth, and is extremely drinkable. MrChopin (621), Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA May 1, 2008 Nose is caramel and slightly citrus with a little pepper in the background. Cloudy-golden color and loads of sediment. Lots of lacing from puffy white head. Tastes include pepper and citrus hops, mixed with caramel sweetness and hints of sour apples/apple cider. More pronounced malts with some wheat as it warms. A nice tripel, but little pricey. Cobra (1060), In a van, down by the river, Maryland, USA May 1, 2008 750 ml brown, Belgian bottle. Corked and caged. No freshness date, but a cryptic mark on the cork, like a lower case "A". Loud pop released the cork. Poured out a deep orange / yellow color, with a thick white head. Carbonation is persistant. Aromas are of pineapples, black pepper, funky yeast. Flavors are of peppery yeast, tropical fruits, earthy hops, lots of malts. Thick mouthfeel, but normal body. Tasty beer overall. Alcohol is well hidden, but sneaks up on you. zappafan99 (462), South Carolina, USA Apr 30, 2008 Updated: Jul 4, 2008First off, I love the Belgians. Effervescent, tingle of hops. Champagne and fruit. Tasteful and long lasting palate. It sparkles and shines without being too fruity. Plus a drunken monk is on the front of the bottle...Praise god! RichJ7 (1175), Cullman, Alabama, USA Apr 30, 2008 Pours a murky light brown with lots of carbonation. Big, thick, fluffy white head. Sweet fruit aroma with a dash of yeasty breadiness, maybe some caramel. Flavor is sweet and fruity: very rich malt. A big alcohol presence. Lightly dry finish. Wonderful. hoptimus (50), Grand Island, New York, USA Apr 29, 2008 750ml bottle. Poured a cloudy, honey-straw color with a very nice looking white head. Left a ton of lacing on the glass, and the head lasted untill the end. Beautiful beer. Aroma was spicy with some floral character. Lots of spice, refreshing, fruity, dry finish and no alcohol coupled to make it very drinkable and hard to sip slowly. medium, fizzy mouthfeel . Delicious
